Entropic Clustering of Stickers Induces Aging in Biocondensates
Hugo Le Roy, Paolo De Los Rios
Biomolecular condensates are cellular phase-separated droplets that usually exhibit a viscoelastic mechanical response. A behavior rationalized by modeling the complex molecules th…

Phase boundaries promote chemical reactions through localized fluxes
Alexandra Shelest, Hugo Le Roy, Daniel M. Busiello +1
One of the hypothesized functions of biomolecular condensates is to act as chemical reactors, where chemical reactions can be modulated, i.e. accelerated or slowed down, while subs…

Collective deformation modes promote fibrous self-assembly in protein-like particles
Hugo Le Roy, M. Mert Terzi, Martin lenz
The self-assembly of particles into organized structures is a key feature of living organisms and a major engineering challenge. While it may proceed through the binding of perfect…
